tv   Get to the Point  CNN  April 2, 2013 10:00pm-11:00pm PDT

10:00 pm
that's all for us tonight. now let's get "to the point." tonight, you know the news. now, it's time to get to the point with cnn's margaret hoover. >> i spent four years working in washington and two years in the white house. i wrote a national best-selling book how to save the republican party. >> donnie deutsche. >> i'm the author of two books. >> rick riley. >> i'm an espn columnist, essayist and author. i'm covering the world of sports more than 30 years. life is just like sports with less padding. >> jason taylor.
10:01 pm
>> i played professional football for 15 years for the miami doll fns and the washington redskins and the new york jets. i also majored in political science and criminal justice. >> and kayleigh mcenany. >> i want to empower americans to have a voice. >> let's "get to the point." hey, everyone. welcome to "the point." we will be here all week at this time. you already know today's head loons so now we get to the point of each story and start with two people that everyone is talking about. hillary clinton and jay leno. first, hillary. she gave a speech tonight at the kennedy center for a major charity, vital voices. a first paid speech out of office at the end of april. certainly for six figures. what is she doing? is this her precursor running for office, donnie?
10:02 pm
>> absolutely. as well she should be and i think the great advantage she has and the point to make is since she stepped down as secretary of state, she now is in the winner's circle. there's nothing bad to happen to her. she brilliantly went out on top, nobody more prepared as secretary of state, eight years in the white house, than this woman. she will be our next president. >> she just fainted. >> no, no. my point is she's not secretary of state. she went out. all she can do now is give speeches and wonderful things. her brand right now is where it is. >> if she runs for president, decidedly, the approval ratings, they're 68% right now. >> yeah, yeah. 67%. she's the most popular presidential candidate since george washington. i mean, this woman seems to have it in the bag but, donny, i want to challenge you and say this is the curse of heightened expectations. she can only go down from here. everyone's talking about president hillary clinton as if it's a foregone conclusion but it is not and faltering a bit she goes down tremendously.
10:03 pm
far from a foregone conclusion. >> 2016, 69 years old. romney was 65 and lost. mccain 70 and lost. personally, i think she should do what bill clinton does. work from the outside. i don't think she should run for president. i think that, yeah, she's the front-runner and you know how it erodes. why not try to change things from the outside? how about working with sarah palin? >> clintons ever work from the outside? >> clinton initiative is working. made a huge difference in the world. >> she is at the height of the popularity right now. approval ratings were high for her. take a little break. she will be back. i'm not sure and ready to crown her as the next president yet but a very, very good candidate. all health issues aside, interesting how chelsea and bill talked about how healthy she is and good she is doing. the age is against her. you hate to say it but age is kind of against her. short-term retirement and right back in to it.
10:04 pm
>> one of the things we know is true. everybody, she deserves sometime out of the spotlight an time to just be in the private life. but there are a slew of women, i mean, the 18 million cracks in the ceiling, all the second wave feminists who feel like her nomination to be president is going to be the crowning moment of their lives. and that there is just this -- you get a sense of a tidal wave in that direction an going with or without her. >> it's an interesting point. women used to -- a lot of them not feel good about hillary clinton. we have seen her morph her brand and first came on the scene, we did not -- a lot of women resented the power and watched this evolution and women have changed dramatically. she was incredibly polarizing and the appeal to men and women is appealing. >> how can we talk about hillary clinton without mentioning benghazi? will that sink her? i think it will. there's a lot of questions to be asked, a lot of things unanswered. americans died and she was
10:05 pm
overseeing at the time. that's her -- the buck stops with her. >> that's misplaced. if i'm running the democratic party, i get someone to speech spanish or learning it right now. that's going to be crucial in 2016. we saw it in the last election and the republicans have someone to be great with the hispanic in rubio. >> that's -- yes. absolutely. >> i think she's -- she is ahead of everybody. jeb bush. up by 50 points in iowa. up by 30. 39 points in iowa. 50 in new hampshire. i any her brand is impenetrable. >> that's two years away. >> she is not in office. >> here we go. we have it on the screen. clinton 52. rubio 41 for florida voters. that's pennsylvania voters. of course, this is four years out. we are jumping the horse race a little bit early, folks. you're only impenetrable until you get in the race. >> i would give you -- >> i mean the whole presidency. >> whole presidency?
10:06 pm
2 to 1 in a heart beat. >> wow. >> you are jaded. jaded. >> you -- she is so cemented and i just -- it's there. and by the way, bill clinton -- >> now. >> bill clinton will be her running mate. think about that. no, i don't mean vice president. >> now all sorts of issues. >> he is so revered. most popular. like president -- most popular politician by so far right now. the clintons with america's royalty. >> in love over here. >> i don't mean running but -- >> speaking of people who maybe are hanging on too long, maybe they should retire, hillary, jay leno. if you saw this thing last night on jimmy fallon's show -- >> beautiful. >> it feels brilliant. let's run it and then talk about it. ♪ tonight tonight ♪ who's going to host tonight ♪ is it going to be jimmy or jay ♪
10:07 pm
♪ tonight tonight ♪ where will they take tonight ♪ in new york ♪ will it stay in l.a. ♪ tonight tonight ♪ my ratings were all right ♪ 20 years and i'm still in first place ♪ >> how great is that? >> well done. >> the question is. it's clearly great pr but better for leno or fallon? there's a rumor to keep it in new york. but now, you know, leno sort of fighting against it. beautiful pr. who does it help? >> helps them both. >> both. >> particularly leno because what it says about this guy, talk about a guy that recreates himself and ending up on top, still top of the ratings. saying i'm not threatened by this and i can have fun with it and also brilliant for fallon and doesn't make like he's pushing it.
10:08 pm
this is a brilliant move to turn upside down a potentially pr disaster and have fun with it. ku dos. >> and then helps nbc but now it's time for nbc to help themselves and remain loyal to leno. leno had a seven-week high. beating letterman and kimmel. i think it's time to show loyalty. give him the benefit of the doubt. keep him in there. i have a special place in my heart for leno. he takes jabs at the right as well as the left. so i have a special place in my heart for him and time nbc show some loyalty. >> you know that jimmy thing with the thank you notes thing? do one of these, thank you, jay leno, for finally being friendly about it. he wasn't with letterman. he wasn't with conan. and i would be fairful if i'm jimmy. this is a nice touch on their part. jay leno usually wins these. he's a friend of mine. he is a workaholic. he's at the comedy store every sunday night. five days a week and does that.
10:09 pm
he doesn't want to quit. >> that's awesome. >> i want to ask you a loyalty question. i want to come back to you. you have kimmel on and really an up and comer. he's starting to move the younger demo. if they make the move, it's talking about the future. there's nobody -- by the way, you have seen it, jason. sometimes there's a starting star quarterback that they don't re-sign. payton manning. >> defensive end. >> happened to me, too, yeah. >> imagine that. happens to all of us. >> it's all nice and good and i love leno, also. but sometimes you kind of make the move on the star quarterback because you're betting on the next ten years. >> you are. we saw it with manning in indianapolis when luck came in. first of all, a brilliant move by nbc and leno and fallon to do this together. this thing was getting nasty. taking shots at nbc execs. good for the time being. this is a band-aid and a chance for them to really kind of smooth it over a little bit and make the transition a little better.
10:10 pm
face it, in a year's time, year and a half's time, they'll make a change. leno will have to move out. that's just the way it is. you have to -- i love the self deprecation in the video. hard not to take it personally. it is. there's a point to become a backup and i know there's no real backup in this late-night television but it's hard to swallow but you made enough money. you go out on top and find something else to do. >> a, those voices enhanced on both of them. leno started the monologue monday night saying, hey, i've come to a great agreement with nbc. we'll get along for years. jimmy, this and that. by the way, april fool's. this isn't a done deal. >> i think, donny, you are spot on. don't bet against the old guy. i'm a huge indianapolis colts fan. i love manning and that should be an instructive story. don't bet against the old guy. give him a shot. >> should have kept manning?
10:11 pm
>> yeah. they should have. >> 14 straight years. >> a tough predicament. i have a manning fathead in my apartment. >> still? >> yeah, still. i'm a colts fan. >> final pr lesson. alec baldwin this. when in trouble, make fun of yourself and come out on top. the opposite of laughing. guys, been a few years since the ft. hood tragedy and discussion, pentagon is not giving the victims purple hearts which i am stunned and i think it brings up the question to talk about next, is, what's a hero. when we come back, we'll get right to that. wait for it... wait for it...

10:15 pm
welcome back to "the point." i'm going to need help getting my arms around this one. i can't see two sides of the story. horrible tragedy number of years ago, ft. hood. so many people died. the pentagon is saying they do not want to award purple hearts to the victims because they're saying somehow it gets in the way of investigation of may san hassan. margaret, to me, anyone that loses their life there or home is a hero. >> the controversy here and we'll get to the point. whether you award purple hearts in the battlefield. was the incident an incident of a madman or a man perpetrator of radical islamist violence and therefore his former comrades lost their lives in the battle on the war on terror. the major was in touch with al qaeda. this was an incident of terrorism and -- >> of course it was.
10:16 pm
>> the pentagon refused to acknowledge that this was an incident in the sort of larger global war on terror. >> there's a reason. if they label him a terrorist giving the very deserving people purple hearts and the families of the people who died purple hearts then that makes the defense say, oh, you've labeled him a terrorist. he's got no chance for a fair trial. let's throw it out. please, just wait. it starts may 29th. >> a military tribunal so the viewers understand. a military tribunal. the truth is what you do in the field of battle, if someone is a perpetrator, they don't get a trial. they're no longer entitled to a fair tropical. >> but u.s. soil and complicated. they'll get the purple hearts. >> there's a counter point. after 9/11, the people who died in the pentagon got a purple heart haen that did the no have an affect on the trial. so i think that's not necessarily a great argument for this. for denying our heroes what they deserve, the purple hearts and,
10:17 pm
you know, to another point, donny, your liberal president is the one who started this all by accusing -- >> i didn't know i was responsible for putting him in office. >> he didn't want a terrorist attack and called it workplace violence. everyone knows this was terrorism, everyone. >> he's trying to get the guy convicted. do you want him convicted over the people to get the purple hearts two years early? >> will klm -- >> i'm talking about this trial. >> why can't we just wait and do the purple hearts after the trial? these people deserve -- >> do we know that will happen? >> i don't know that will happen. they absolutely deserve a purple heart. >> absolutely. >> a shame to go through this jargon to get -- we can't charge him as a terrorist because you can't get a fair trial. he doesn't deserve a fair trial at this point. i understand that. but -- >> he's an american. he gets a fair trial. >> labeled a terrorist, a terrorist act then the rules change. >> you're just throwing out the
10:18 pm
constitution? >> no. >> it's not the constitution. it's a military tribunal. >> he still lives in this country. >> i understand. but things happen in this country, too, that could be terrorism and which it was. my whole point is, can we wait until the trial is over to give them what they truly deserve? >> aren't we putting the interests of hassan above -- >> no. the interest of convicted hassan. >> the initial question of a hero. another network where one of the commentators got in trouble. anyone that puts on a uniform is a hero. i was in the car with a guy and he was telling me about the sons. one was a special-ops guy. we talk in the abstract about these people. they are putting on uniforms, dedicating their life and as far as i'm concerned every one is a hero. >> how about -- you need to give a purple heart to a guy that's operates drones? >> you know what? >> as far as i'm concerned, you
10:19 pm
sign up for the military as opposed to being tv people like us or bankers, you get a medal as far as i'm concerned. period. >> is he a hero? >> giving the life for his country. >> will you work with me and have a protest in front of the white house to get this done? can we we do that? >> this weekend. >> 500. me and donny. >> i have to see this. >> we absolutely throw the word hero around too easily. people that if you sign up on the dotted line to defend this country, behind closed doors or overseas or anywhere around the world, they are 100% heroes to me and need to be recognized accordingly. now, another trial that's about to begin is the michael jackson trial. the wrongful death suit started today. michael jackson's mother is suing aeg, the company responsible for michael's final tour "this is it" for $40 million. she claims that's what he would have earned if he didn't die in 2009. >> 40 billion. >> did i say 40 million? i'm sorry.
10:20 pm
40 billion with a "b." >> she's saying it's aeg's fault he died? >> yes. even though conrad murray is serving time in prison for involuntarily manslaughter. my question is, who is to blame for michael jackson's death? >> michael jackson is to blame! >> it's interesting about this. he was using conrad murray before he ever signed for this deal. >> exactly. >> the reason he picked conrad murray is he was easy with the prescriptions. dolled it out. that's why he picked him out. it's michael's fault. >> he was a victim of his own addiction and clearly see many people that miss michael jackson and sort of hold him up want him to be a victim of somebody else but he was a victim of his own addictions and choices. >> i'll ask you a question. i want to say if it goes to trial, what the defense is going to do, what the prosecutors are going to do, they'll bring up the old molestation accusations because that's when according to michael's people he started using drugs.
10:21 pm
do you think that's fair game? >> no. the mother's discrediting his legacy by doing that. i personally have a soft spot in my heart for michael jackson. who doesn't? by doing this and dredging up the history -- >> i say it sickens me. it sickens me. they have sucked the money out of this kid from cradle to past the grave. >> yes. >> he is in the grave now. they're his worth about $600 million after debt. that's not enough? now we drag all of this -- can you imagine if the guy -- if there is an afterlife, thanks a lot, mom. >> yeah. so true. >> am i the only one -- you know, his music is great but i think sometimes we too easily sweep under, oh, those -- i mean, according to so many people he wasn't obviously convicted of it but there were so many inappropriate things with children and just because -- >> not unless he did it. >> that's the most heinous of all things. to me, it tarnishes everything. i'm sorry. i just does. >> kill the guy after he died? >> wasn't convicted.
10:22 pm
>> so many people close with him who swear that he, you know, everything was appropriate. they just had a meaningful relationship with him. >> and guys -- >> look. everybody's legacy is fair game for exploration but i do think that it should be viewed separately from this court trial which is apparently in jury selection today. >> open up his life. >> give him some peace. >> denied a childhood an ensee that in the adulthood and i'm not convinced he did it. give him the benefit of the doubt. >> but to the point, i think we agree the person to blame for michael jackson's death is number one michael jackson. >> of course. >> conrad murray's doing time for it and trying to blame aeg now and the factors but at the end of the day michael jackson was addicted to a plethora of drugs that he had no business of taking and in the quantities he was taking and i think he was his number one worst enemy. >> yeah. >> and then if his mother's arguing that aeg hired conrad murray and michael jackson got to pick a doctor for aeg to -- it's a mess. michael jackson -- >> she should be on trial
10:23 pm
because the only way he got -- thought anybody was loving him is when he was performing and thanks to her and -- >> guess who else is going on trial. a bunch of teachers in atlanta. have you heard about this? we'll talk about this when we get back. are we a nation of cheaters? we have a bunch of atlanta teachers who have to answer that question.

one of them was in 2009 named the national superintendent of the year. she received a national award for her ability to educate children and turns out it was all a scam. they were all cheating on their tests. changing the scores to demonstrate that they were actually very effective teachers. >> standardized tests that the government, the state makes you teach kids and have kids take. or else you don't get funding. you have to go up every year or you don't get funding so even if your school hit 96% last year, you have to show 97% or the federal government takes over your school. >> that's no child left behind and many people on the left especially saying this would never have happened if it never happened because you wouldn't be forced to test and therefore you wouldn't have teachers cheating on the test. >> there needs to be accountability with teachers. in order to have accountability with teachers, there needs to be some sort of not just

received 500,000 in bonuses based on what those schools are doing. not only did that happen, she fired 90% of the principals in that school district so it's -- they had -- >> pizza parties. >> yes. to correct the scores. what i'm saying is with that many bad teachers or principals or a bad superintendent, i think that's -- it's too many bad apples. it's a bad system in total that -- >> this was brought up. >> breeds or grows the bad apples. hold on. i like to think that teachers are better spirited than that, have better intentions than that but the pressure is so high. >> if you made me chancellor of teachers in the u.s., and said, donny, fix it, i'm dumb in a lot of things but i'm a pretty good business guy. we have to give scores. i don't want what the other answer is. >> i want to elevate it -- >> sausage grinder. this is what we decide is progress and what isn't?

10:41 pm
>> a reason why. >> it's a big reason. >> in all seriousness, you know, this is -- television used to be about family. we remember "the crosby show." that was television. not just anti-family. it's hostile to my values and a conservative christian. hostile. my kids, you know, i imagine five years from now when i have kids, they won't be able to watch. >> "the office" is hostile? >> no. "family guy." it's hostile. >> turn it off. >> the answer is this. everybody should have their options. if you like crazy stuff. so my point is, you want to watch -- don't take the other stuff away but give areas where it's safe space. >> broadcast television. >> yes. >> i don't want to see donald trump nude, i don't. >> i don't mean to to think about that. >> i'm almost afraid to see where we go if we relax the laws. some of the things said and shown on television -- >> did to europe. >> comes down to -- we are not in europe. comes down to parents being parents and parents have to parent and understand what they want their kids to watch and not watch but the broadcast networks
10:42 pm
have a responsibility to inform and prepare the audience for what's coming up. i know they put the snippets up for three seconds and say macon tan graphic nudity. whatever it is. we have to do a better job as a network of alerting people and informing them of what the show really is because there's plenty of times i'm watching television with my kids or younger people and something will come up and you try to hurry up and cover their eyes. it's too late. >> movie ratings, as well. some of these ratings pg-13 and graphic vie listens. >> afraid to take your kid. >> every christian kid you're worried about, they have seen porn on the tv? >> is the status quo an excuse not to make a change? status quo is not an excuse to make a better world to work toward. >> you want to go more -- >> back to the crosby days and jason and margaret.
10:43 pm
out of the status quo. the status quo is not right. we have people like you say, it's not going to happen. >> you're the reason. >> it's donny. >> no, no, no. the interesting thing is that my whole point is there should be freedom and spaces where you're not -- don't prescribe it's all crosby either. you are on the other side of the argument. >> is broadcast television crosby right now? >> no. >> far from it. >> get back to crosby, i'm saying we're in such a segmented world with 500 channels, enough for everybody. neither side should say don't do this, do this. there should be safe space. >> i actually think you're saying the same thing and agree that broadcast television should sort of be a safe space. she is not saying you can't have porn channels. >> yes, she is. >> you can have the porn channels. >> maybe she is, maybe she is. >> not everybody can afford cable or satellite either. the folks that can't afford it, should be a safe place, as well.
10:44 pm

10:57 pm
the one in the front the way it is? i have to be a contortionist to fit in this thing. let me read this. delta claims a flyers not bothered by the smaller bathrooms because the design mostly utilize space that was previously wasted. there's waste? >> extra library in there. >> there's waste. not sure it's wasted space in there. i don't get this. >> what do you care? they don't feed us. you don't need a restroom anymore. >> i rarely go in there. there's women using the restrooms a lot. >> i think they're on to something here. how about bench seating? four people in there. >> i don't know if tsa likes this. >> third seat in the cockpit. sell that. >> jump seat. >> you know, when that restroom's really going to get small with the nra armed guard now. >> everywhere. >> they have those. >> in the restroom with you. >> there's one over there. i see him over there. >> i would happily -- >> my trade.

10:59 pm
get purple hearts and the true heroes are men and women serving the military. >> i couldn't agree with you more. i'll do donny, too. we might have a winner tonight. >> a loser. >> i have to say i really liked that you said, you know, look. you have to approach teaching with common sense. you have to grade teachers and i think that's not a typical left wing or center left position but it's very sensible and so i applaud you for that. i was psyched. you get my award tonight. >> the two -- both the women at the panel get my award for shaming the men and showing us that the stronger sex does not cheat. so you made us all feel very small an we'll do better. okay? >> not buying it. >> be a better man. >> i didn't want to vote for you but everyone is. >> wow! >> i thought that was interesting, 50% of the 2010 college graduates aren't working in a job where they need a degree. that's so depressing. >> i had that stat on my paper. i think donny cheated.
